My whole property is "naturalized" so I get a lot of visitors. In this case Black Swallowtail, Silver Spotted Skipper, Monarchs and Tiger Swallowtail. They were photographed over the summer. The only pic not shot with my Pentax k-x is the Monarchs. They were shot with a Fuji XP-90 at our local Mennonite Church's flower garden.

That's got to a beautiful place, then...I've got similar designs for my lot here in Eastern Tennessee, but the weed-wrench treatment for Amur Honeysuckle seems Sisyphean at times. FWIW, be on the look-out for posts from our resident park ranger and naturalist, "Mole"--he's a great photographer and teacher. (Also, that first shot looks to be a spicevine, I think.)

Very nice photos - both of butterflies and of the fauna that attracted them.
